Basic Research for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems: The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of theOffice of Science (SC), U.S.Department of Energy (DOE), in keeping with its mission to strengthen theNation apos;s scientific research enterprise through the support offundamentalscience and the experimental tools to perform basic research, announces itsinterest in receiving grant applications for basic research for AdvancedNuclear Energy Systems. Areas of focus include understanding of nanoscaleinteractions under extreme conditions, mastering the behavior of actinidesandof fission products, solution behavior under extreme conditions ofradiationand temperature, and interfacial behavior under extreme environmentalconditions. Research funded under this initiative will pursuebreakthroughs inscientific understanding that will advance materials design, will improvecharacterization of materials and processes, will enhance chemicalprocessesunder the extreme conditions present in nuclear energy systems, and willextendinterdisciplinary theory-modeling-simulation-experimentation methodology tosurmount the existing scientific and technical barriers for nuclear energysystems of the future. More information on these focus areas is provided intheSupplementary Information section below.
